Greg, with respect, you're becoming what in the vernacular is politely termed a "nudnik"; ~) - Trumpeldor has apologised for any offence given, and if, as I suspect, he's an Israeli, then the word you dislike would come naturally to him, with no derogatory intent, as Reb S. has suggested.

As Wordnet notes, this word came into English via Yiddish, but it has Slavic roots (as the suffix -nik suggests). I suspect it comes from the Russian adjective нудный (nudnyj), which means "tiresome, annoying" and is related to the verb нудить (nudit'), which means "to force, oblige" (a nudnik being someone who forces himself on you). The Slavic root nud- actually refers to "need" (it's cognate with the English word, I suspect), and produces also the Russian word нужный (nužnyj), meaning "necessary", and the Slovene word nujen, also meaning "necessary", but with the added sense of "urgent".
